whats the best way to repair a rusted weather strip spot graffix989 02-08-2005, 08:23 AM
ok i made a post a couple days ago about a massive puddle thats getting bigger everytime it rains. i seriously think i found the problem. i didnt notice it until i sat in the front seat an looked into the hinge of the rear door.. just were the weather strip starts to bend to run along the bottom, there is a rust spot.. not on the weather strip side, but on the acual door itself, where it seats against it.. its about 2-3 inches long, an its bubbling up, i asume thats whats breaking the seal... my question is whats the best way to fix it? i was thinking about sanding it smooth, an putting some kind of paint, or even like liquid nails or sumthing.... ive got all kinds of silicone, alone with some other adhesives... any ideas??? specific material would be nice...

Then i sanded it smooth and repainted EnjukuRacing240sx 02-08-2005, 10:26 PM exactly what i was going to reccommend... good old jb weld graffix989 02-09-2005, 06:56 AM how much does the jb weld cost? does it come in small enough sizes for what i need? its only about the size of a quarter, maybe a lil more... Nitrous_Boy 02-10-2005, 08:28 PM I'm thinkign jb weld is like $3 at wal-fart. mix the two tubs together on a plate but don't get the quick dry it does't work "as" good. easy shit. and yes it is in pretty small sizes and stuff cousincletus 02-11-2005, 03:32 PM A wire wheel on an electric drill is a quick and easy way to remove the rust.
